    Why does this post not start with glory was right?
    There is no point in any new players coming in whilst we have the clueless coach in charge, that's for the best as Orta knows less about spotting talent than even you.

    Rad, Orta and Tc have no business being at our club.

    Saiz has accepted a 6 game ban which says it all ffs. He has fallen in many peoples expectations today. From hero being our best player to spoint child zero in the eyes of many who will now want shut of him. TC decision to put him on for the last few minutes has maybe even killed the season, that was a real bad decision

    Funny how people have different perspectives on spitting. Some people have it down as a despicable act whereby he should be publically flogged and banned fir life, some are a bit ‘meh’ by it.

    Personally I think it’s in the fairly revolting category but really, i’d rather someone spat at me than scythed me down with a knee high two footed ‘tackle’ from behind.

    Whichever, the length of ban is a known entity, he’s admitted it. Publically apologised. Needs a hefty fine from the club as much for missing 6 games as for what it’s for, and everyone moves on.

    It’s disgusting and the length of ban is justified, I just don’t get why a player believes it’s okay to do. Thomas shouldn’t have bothered putting him on, we should have had a better team to start with but... You can’t plan for a player doing something so stupid.

    Fined, suspended and move on, not sold as far as I’m concerned.

    Well there was the port vale incident which now looks more likely to be a case of ‘got away with’ rather than not guilty. How many bans for spitting has he had previously in his career? ...genuinely don’t know if he has previous.

    What are peoples views on the latest Ideguchi saga as its important. We sign a top Jap international who is supposed to be the first name on the jap team sheet. Hes the most sought after player in Asia and we get him. Its assumed we get him for next season as would probably get work permit issues, so we send him out on loan until the Summer. However it turns out we can get him a permit so he can be eligible to play against Ipswich, yet we still send him out on loan?

    Dont get it, this guy is supposed to be (I quote from top Jap footy writer) a player in the mold of Billy Bremner but with the genius of Johnny Giles. Now come on if that were anywhere near true knowing we have just lost our best player for a couple of months ....... He arrives today for his medical and signs tomoz?

    This has been my underlying concern since Radz came in.
    Did he buy Leeds as a shop window to buy and sell players,

    Is he the most sought after player in Asia doc? There’s really no-one there worth more than half a mill? And I use the same argument... if he was that in demand he wouldn’t sign for us.

    All that said, the reports on him are good, and if we don’t HAVE to loan him out it seems strange we should choose to.

    As for whose ‘strategy’ this is... I think the model is more likely orta’s than radz’

    Of course he’s not that good and I don’t know who started the nonsense of comparing him to Bremner or Giles. Having lost Saiz, why we’d loan this lad out is a mystery. Seems to be mysteries to many of our signings

    My view is he will find the English Championship a massive step up from what he is used to. Ortas finds haven’t inspired me of late so I’m not going to get excited by some unknown... Our scouting network is a drop in the ocean to many other teams so if he was in the Bremner/Giles mould he wouldn’t be joining us and his price would have at least one extra zero on the end.

    Fingers crossed I’m totally wrong but if he never steps out for the first team it wouldn’t surprise me. The guy giving him the amazing write up, it’s not the same one who described Lasogga or Klich to us is it?

    Because in my opinion you are NEVER RIGHT so lets get this one put to bed .You said he would not spend any money this window .Wrong againand you owe some serious money out to the ones who bet you.By tomorrow he will have spent £4m plus Jack Marriot on the horizon at £3m
    I don't after justify that I can recognise talent I am rather good at it

    Would love to see this Guy refereeing a Championship game...



    Early on around 55 seconds, love how he thrusts his arse towards a player for a free kick...

    I had never heard of him until we agreed to buy him, the write up comes from a mate of Popeys who is the font of all knowledge on Asian football? And also a Spaniard who scouts for teams in Spain. I have no knowledge of this guy just repeating what Popey tweeted.
